I love BMW...but dare I say it....I think the Q5 3.0L TD sh*ts on the X3.

Out of X5 or X6, I would choose X6 too, they aren't so spacious but look better and are less played out than the X5. Sounds like you got a good deal and a hot car

Black + oyster is an awesome colour combo.

Congrats!

Signed the papers for a black X6 today with black rims (it has silver rims atm but they will be swapped around, as I requested it), identical to the one I linked to above, except the interior is oyster as opposed to black and I like a contrasting interior (which will be a mission to keep clean, but it looks amazing against the rest of the black).
It is a MY2011.5, so it has some updates, including 5 seats which is a bonus.

Of course this is my Mum's car, but I guess I can drive it when the weather is too feral to have the roof down on the 335.

Congrats and great choice, post pics when you get it!

Glad you picked the diesel, enjoy the monstrous torque from this truck.

We'll be looking to sell our X5 and upgrade to a X6 once the LCI has been released.

Thanks everyone.

In terms of the X3, had a look at one up close, it is slightly smaller than the X5, not by a lot. The back is very X5 like, the front is different I guess.....lol. To put it nicely......

I didn't look at the price on it, but I can't see why you'd go an X3 instead of an X5, unless the X3 is quite a bit cheaper.

Hey everyone,

Picked up the 5 seater X6 on Friday.
It is an absolute dream of a car and I'm sure my Mum (and myself) will both enjoy it.
Looks pretty gangsta!

Very happy I opted for the X6 now, looks much better than the x5 in the flesh (IMO of course) and the X5 looks too similar to the new X3.

Pics below.

Thanks!

Congrats! Nice choice.

Congrats, looks hot! You could consider all black grilles.

[BMWGTR]

Yes I was thinking that and I've seen another X6 with them in place, looked great.
Will be getting a tint as well. Going for the ALL BLACK look (exterior-wise).

[Rivenscyr]

congrats on the new car, your mums going to be very teary eyed when you giver her a new car

[BMJOE]

nice man well done! I am a X6 fan over the other x's, that's my personal preference.

Just looked at a x6M on carsales. 0-100 in 4.7 give that a tune and look out M3's!

[Jeef Beef]

That car looks freaking GANGSTA. My dad rolls in a black X6 as well and it's a great car. Uses barely any fuel with the diesel.

Regarding X6 LCI, there isn't one. They've upgraded the engine to the 40d, put in the 8 speed auto and that's it. Looks exactly the same from the outside = helps resale.

The LCI has very minor exterior changes, a non enthusiast wouldnt notice the differnces

The 8spd and the 40d are quite significant changes. No LED angels or fat rear LEDs though.

[sbce90]

I thought revised lights for X6 were on their way?

[Ninjaoz]

Yes, X6 LCI just released a couple of days ago with new headlight and revised LED taillights

[MLOREY]

poor interior choice

Exterior wise they get LED angel eyes in the LCI update

Wish they updated the range with an M Sport pack

Good choice with the black X6!
